Dear Friends:
WBAI's right to the airwaves has never been secure. During the four years of its
existence it has.been operating under an interim authorization from the
Federal Communications Commission. It has had constant financial difficulties
and harassments — official and non-official. 1963 began with an investigation
by the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, which finally issued a transcript
without comment. During recent weeks, its existence has been further threatened
by the FCC's request that Pacifca Board members and station managers, myself
included, sign a non-communist affidavit. I fully agree luith the statement
the Board issued on November 9, which says in part: 'It is the policy of the
Pacifica Board of Directors not to inquire into the political or religious affiliations
of its members or allied personnel, or to conduct investigations to that end.
With respect to those associated with us, we judge the good character, honesty,
loyalty, reliability and commitment to the U.S. Constitution and to the
preservation of its institutions by the quality of their work and through the acts
which express the ideas and beliefs which motivate their lives. Judged by these
standards, we have full confidence in the integrity, honesty and loyalty of the
members of our Board and. management.'
We have asked continuously that our application for a license be granted on the
basis of our program performance of the past four years. We reiterate our position
that we do broadcast 'in the public interest and necessity.'
Your help in resisting any possible curtailment of our freedom and independence
is urgently needed. Use the attached envelope to send your contribution —
$1000 if you can,fl if you must — to assist WBAI in meeting these pressures.
Sincerely yours,
Joseph Binns
Station Manager

. . . and Freedom to Hear
The Federal Communications Commission
is pressing hard on the nonprofit Pacifica Foun-
dation, which runs radio stations in Los Angeles,
San Francisco and WBAI-FM in New York, over
an issue that could take all three of Pacifica's
stations off the air. The F.C.C. has made the
unusual demand that the foundation's directors
fill out questionnaires about possible Communist
affiliations; this Pacifica's officials refuse to do.
From the listener's viewpoint — which is to say,
the public's — the issue is really one of freedom
to hear.
The Pacifica stations are frankly esoteric, even
a little precious, in their music; outspoken and
often controversial in their discussion programs.
Their standard offering— in contrast to that of
the pop-music stations which blanket the country
— is symphonies and symposiums.
The stations have carried a spectrum of mi-
nority political views from extreme left to ex-
treme right, including Communist and John
Birch Society speakers, who have been identified
as such. One particular program which engaged
Washington's attention included an ex-F.B.I.
agent who criticized J. Edgar Hoover. The Sen-
ate Internal Security subcommittee thereupon in-
vestigated Pacifica's management. In the course
of its hearings, two witnesses employed by Pacif-
ica declined to answer questions about past affili-
ations, pleading the First and Fifth Amendments.
Now the F.C.C. is inquiring into the political past
of Pacifica's officials. Meanwhile, the licenses of
the stations have not been renewed, and they
operate on interim authorizations.
After all the noble statements about waste-
lands and the need for more educational and
controversial programs, is the F.C.C. going to
nullify its preachments by a witch-hunting ap-
proach to stations that offer a place on the
airwaves for unpopular views?
Here is a splendid chance for the new F.C.C.
chairman, E. William Henry, to give some mean-
ing to the usual platitudes about freedom of the
air. Here is his chance to encourage broadcasters
who are willing to recognize the intelligence of
their audiences; to offer them wide freedom of
choice among all kinds of ideas, outrageous or
not; and to furnish the kind of unorthodox fare
that is such a rarity on radio, TV and in the
press today.
